Bought it back in december bein a real novice and not speakin to people on here first. Then had a real bad flooding in feb. It died on me end of march so after some thinking on who to go to i decided to take it the mac. They basically rebuilt the whole thing and would've been perfect if it wern't for the flatshifter. Despite bein told there tested mine turned out faulty and as it kept workin on/off i managed to smash the 'box. There were some minor issues too but thought that given how long it took to leave it with mark n collin to finish off properly. Spent alot of money now and wanna drive it for the rest of summer without stickin my head under the bonnet. This winter i'll start gettin my head round things. Was told that the diff is on its way out :-( dont really wanna be jackin it up 5mins after i got it though...

Dean was you the poor sod that had a front wishbone snap too? If your only in Essex you can come and join me on the afternoon track day @ brands on 27th Aug (thursday)!!

If nothing else all the people local to kent \ essex should meet up. Maybe Lakeside \ Bluewater \ Brands or something.

Welcome back to the driving club instead of the spectator club!!





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Please read my ring story:

Picked it up thursday! The last 400+ round trip thankfully (touch wood)

What a difference - cant explain just how much better it handles and drives.

Gettin fed up of the flatshifter now though (Mac said I would). Why cant they work properly like on the road bikes!?!

Tested it at MAC and all was fine. Worked for about 50 miles at home and now its stopped again - checked all wiring and nothings loose or come away!

Mines old school carbs though so dont have the adjustability of yours.
